Hi,
There are four places involved: the forge, the repository, the directory and
the wiki.
1. The forge: "official" hosting is at http://projects.openmoko.org/
The quotes are important, this is provided only as a community service.
So far this service availability has been in the 90s rather than 99% uptime.
2. The repository: official (no quotes) package repository at:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Repository
I think there is a script that pulls daily released packages from
projects.openmoko.org. I also had a glimpse of a web interface to drop your
packages there, and further openings are probably planned.
3. The directory: In addition to hosting, you also want indexing at:
http://opkg.org .
Your packages are already in there, but I mention it for future reference.
4. The wiki: you want the packages to be found when people search in the wiki.
Obviously we are thinking about automatic crosslinking with the above
information sources, and obviously this is non-trivial work (see Alessandro's
cross-sites Om search engine http://aiurlano.netsons.org/OpenMoko/ ) .
Meanwhile, application developpers are kindly suggested to at least drop a
link at:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Applications
Happy hacking,
Minh
